- You have a BMC Remedy AR System Write license and an application license.
- You have a basic knowledge of BMC Remedy AR System administration tasks.
- You have a basic understanding of performing common configuration tasks using the Application Administration console (for example, logging into the IT Home Page, defining users in the People form, and so on).
Basic configuration steps
